[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax county high schools are all diverse,

Every single one

People just like to complain [/quote]

I used to live in Alexandria and now live in McLean. Both schools are incredibly diverse, just in different ways. Our school in Alexandria had a large Spanish speaking population and our McLean school has more Asians and Middle Eastern students.[/quote]

Langley has next to no economic diversity. Chantilly does, as does every other high school in FCPS besides Langley. [/quote]

OP, look at the college acceptances from Langley.  Colleges tend to think[b] "the rich white folk" will do well in life, no mater what, "no need to take m/any of them!"[/b]

Chantilly gets my vote. [/quote]

Hmmm.  Well, if you think that is true, then Chantilly has the same problem with "the rich Asian folk."[/quote].

Chantilly is 35-40% white, 35-40% Asian.   15% Hispanic.  And, not coincidentally, 15% FARMS.

[b]There are are lots of UMC white and Asian kids there. White collar parents. Generally not a lot of SAHMs except among some Indian families.  Lots of parents in tech (as well as feds, doctors, lawyers, teachers. . .).  Kids driving 10 year old Subarus  or Hondas  school and applying to UVA, WM,  VT, GMU, VCU, etc.[/b]

There’s UMC, then there  is *rich*.  Chantilly is UMC. Langley is rich.  [/quote]

All of the bolded accurately describes Langley too, though there are also plenty of SAHMs - of all races.[/quote]
